Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus for transferring poultry carcasses from a first overhead conveyor to a second overhead conveyor.
  • the poultry, chicken or turkeys, hanging upside down from their legs or knees in hangers are transferred here from the one overhead conveyor, for instance a cooling line, by means of one or more transfer wheels to a subsequent overhead conveyor, for instance a drip conveyor.
  • Both conveyors can be situated in line with each other, but also at an angle, for instance 90 degrees.
  • hangers are used the orientation of which with respect to the process path or conveyor is fixed.
  • hangers that are provided with means for rotating the hanger with respect to the trolley in question moving past the conveyor to which trolley the hanger is attached.
  • Such hangers require an additional investment, and moreover are not always suitable to be accommodated in an existing slaughter line.
  • the invention provides an apparatus for transferring poultry carcasses from a first overhead conveyor to a second overhead conveyor, in which overhead conveyors the carcasses are transported suspended from shackles and the like, comprising a transfer wheel rotatable about a vertical axis and positioned between both overhead conveyors, which wheel is provided with holders for the carcasses and with first means for transferring the carcasses from the first overhead conveyor to the transfer wheel and with second means for transferring the carcasses from the transfer wheel to the second overhead conveyor, orientation means further being present for equalizing the spacial initial orientation of the carcass in the holder at receipt on the transfer wheel and the spacial final orientation of the carcass in the holder at its discharge from the transfer wheel to the second overhead conveyor.
  • the orientation means are adapted for keeping the spacial orientation of the carcass in the holder constant during the transport on the transfer wheel.
  • the transfer to the second conveyor can take place at any given point along the circumference of the transfer wheel, and an arrangement with several, second overhead conveyors to be selectively provided with carcasses can be realised.
  • the holders are bearing mounted in the transfer wheel to be rotatable about themselves about a vertical axis. It is furthermore preferred here that the orientation means are adapted for relative rotation of the holders with respect to the transfer wheel, preferably for letting the holders rotate 1:1 with the transfer wheel.
  • the orientation means comprise first orientation means for orienting a first of the holders, and second orientation means for orienting others of the holders, which second orientation means are operated by the first orientation means, in which way a simple sequential drive of the holders is thus realised.
  • the first orientation means comprise a first driving disc provided on the first holder, a second driving disc placed loosely on the axis but retained in spacial orientation, and a driving belt or driving chain running around both, the diameter of both driving discs preferably being equal.
  • the orientation means are further provided with a tension pulley for the driving belt or driving chain.
  • the second orientation means comprise a first toothed wheel that is attached to the first holder in a rotatably fixed manner, a central toothed wheel freely rotatable on the axis and driven by the first toothed wheel, as well as second toothed wheels attached in a rotatably fixed manner to every other holder, which second toothed wheels are in driving engagement with the central toothed wheel and preferably have a diameter that is equal to the one of the first toothed wheel.
  • the invention provides an apparatus for transferring poultry carcasses from a first overhead conveyor to a second overhead conveyor, in which overhead conveyors the carcasses are transported suspended from shackles and the like, comprising a transfer wheel rotatable about a vertical axis and positioned between both overhead conveyors, which wheel is provided with holders for the carcasses and with first means for transferring the carcasses from the first overhead conveyor to the transfer wheel and with second means for transferring the carcasses from the transfer wheel to the second overhead conveyor, orientation means further being present for rotating the holders with respect to the transfer wheel during the transport of the holders by the transfer wheel.
  • orientation means are adapted for 1:1 rotation of the holders and the transfer wheel.
  • the invention provides a holder for suspended transport of a poultry carcass, provided with accommodation spaces for the legs of the carcass, the accommodation spaces each forming a continuous slit in horizontal direction. In this way it is achieved that the carcass can be discharged from the holder in a direction which is the same as the direction of insertion of the carcass into the holder. As a result rotation of the holder can be dispensed with under conditions.
  • the distance between the accommodation spaces at their one end is different from the distance therebetween at their other end.
  • a fluent, and possibly direct accommodation/transfer of the carcasses becomes possible in case the distance between the legs in the hangers of the first overhead conveyor is different from the one of the hangers of the second overhead conveyor.
  • the invention further provides an apparatus of the aforementioned type, provided with such holders.
  • the invention further provides a method as described in this application.
  • FIG. 1A schematically shows a top view of transfer apparatus according to the invention, placed between two overhead conveyors;
  • FIG. 1B schematically shows a top view of a transfer apparatus according to the invention, placed between two overhead conveyors, in alternative arrangement;
  • FIG. 2 shows a top view of a transfer wheel of an apparatus according to the invention
  • FIG. 3 shows a top view inclined from above of a part of the transfer wheel of FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 4 shows a side view of the transfer wheel of the FIGS. 2 and 3;
  • FIG. 5 schematically shows a vertical cross-section of the arrangement of the transfer wheel according to the FIGS. 2 - 4 ;
  • FIG. 6A schematically shows a vertical cross-section of a first holder for the transfer wheel of the preceding figures
  • FIG. 6B schematically shows a vertical cross-section of a second holder for the transfer wheel according to FIGS. 2 - 5 ;
  • FIGS. 7A and 7B show a front view and a top view, respectively, of the hanging part of a holder for an apparatus according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1A a transfer apparatus 1 is shown, by means of which carcasses, supplied on a first overhead conveyor 2 , for instance a cooling conveyor, are supplied in the direction A, suspended from hangers 8 on a transport line, such as a rail and/or a chain 3 .
  • the overhead conveyor 2 is turned about rotation wheel 4 , the carcasses being transferred from the overhead conveyor 2 onto transfer wheel 12 of the transfer apparatus 10 at the location of transfer station 40 .
  • a second overhead conveyor 5 is placed, for instance a drip conveyor, having a transport line 6 and a rotation wheel 7 , along which the holders 9 transported with the transport line 6 are moved in the direction C, past transfer station 50 , where the carcasses from the transfer apparatus 10 are received.
  • the transfer apparatus 10 here is substantially shown with a rotation axis 13 and a transfer wheel 12 , on which the carcass holders 11 are supported to rotate along in the direction B.
  • FIG. 2 a detail of the arrangement of FIG. 1B is schematically shown with transfer wheel 12 placed between two transfer wheels 7 a and 7 b , which themselves are contiguous to the first and second conveyors 2 and 5 , respectively.
  • sixteen holders 11 are rotatably supported on the transfer wheel 12 . It here regards fifteen identical holders 11 b and one different holder 11 a , shown in FIGS. 6B and 6A, respectively.
  • the holder 11 a comprises a vertical axis 20 a , which by means of bearings 23 a is rotatably bearing mounted in the transfer wheel 12 .
  • the transfer wheel 12 is connected to the axis 13 in a rotatably fixed manner.
  • said axis 13 is connected to a disc 14 in a rotatably fixed manner, which disc 14 at its circumference is provided with a toothing 15 . Via said toothing 15 the axis 13 is driven, for instance by coupling to one or both drives of the overhead conveyor, possible through the intermediary of synchronisation means.
  • a chain wheel 18 On the axis 13 there furthermore is a chain wheel 18 , that is relatively rotatable with respect to the axis 13 , but which is stopped from rotating by a means that is not further shown.
  • a chain wheel 16 On the holder 11 a , particularly at the upper end of the axis 20 a , a chain wheel 16 is attached in a rotatably fixed manner, a chain 27 running around the chain wheels 6 and 18 , as can be seen in FIG. 5.
  • a chain tensioner 19 (also see FIG. 2) is provided here for keeping the chain 17 at the right tension.
  • the chain transfer 15 with chain wheel 16 and chain 17 , and also chain tensioner 19 are shielded to the outside and upwards by means of a hood 26 , as can also be seen in FIG. 3.
  • toothed wheel 24 a is attached to the axis 20 a in an also rotatably fixed manner. Said toothed wheel 24 a is meshed with a toothing 25 a at the circumference of a large central toothed wheel 25 (also see FIG. 3), which central toothed wheel 25 is coaxial with and freely rotatable with respect to the axis 13 .
  • the other holders 11 b are substantially equal to the holder 11 a , but they are not provided with a chain wheel 16 . They are also meshed with the teeth of their toothed wheel 24 b with the toothing 25 a of the central toothed wheel 25 .
  • the toothed wheels 24 a , 24 b have twenty-nine teeth, with a diameter of the pitch circle of 116 mm, and the central toothed wheel 25 has one hundred and seventy-six teeth, with a diameter of the pitch circle of 704 mm.
  • the holder 11 a will however rotate relatively with respect to the transfer wheel 12 . Said rotational movement is transferred to the central toothed wheel 25 which because of the mesh with the holders 11 is taken along in the direction G (coinciding with the direction of rotation B), but rotating a little faster. Because of the mesh of the toothed wheels 24 b of the holders 11 b with the toothing 25 a of the central toothed wheel 25 , the holders 11 b are also rotated with respect to the transfer wheel 12 , in exactly the same degree and in the exact same direction as the holder 11 a.
  • the spacial orientation of the holders 11 here remains the same, and thus of the carcasses suspended in the holders 11 .
  • two birds are killed with one stone, because in that way it is also achieved that the carcasses are transferred to the second conveyor in the orientation suitable for the next treatment.
  • separate rotation means for the holders on the second conveyor 5 can be dispensed with.
  • the transfer apparatus 10 in this way is very suitable to be deployed in—existing—slaughter lines with hangers that are not rotatable in themselves.
  • FIGS. 7A and 7B a hanger 21 is shown which is particularly suitable for the holder 11 .
  • the hanger 21 is attached to the lower end of the axis 20 , in a rotatably fixed manner.
  • the hanger comprises an inverted U-shaped shackle 27 , at the lower ends of which narrow horizontal plates 30 are fixedly attached. At the insertion end the narrow plates 30 have been provided with inclined upwardly extending ends 33 , and at the discharge side with flat ends 34 .
  • a rod 28 extends downwards from the axis 20 which is fixedly attached to it, at the lower end of which rod a plate 29 is fixedly attached, which also at the insertion side is turned upwardly inclined with portions 32 and at the discharge end has a flat end member 35 .
  • the distances X and Y between the access openings of the passages 31 situated on either side may differ from each other, in order to fit the (then different) leg distance in the hangers of the overhead conveyors situated near the opening in question.
